Cruiscin lan is right. :)

That looks like it's actually over the minimum legal size as well and all.

Wonder where it's coming from. There seems to be some other sort of vessel in the background too.

Maybe it's a sale that fell through?

If I had the stones I'd buy it myself and start making gin!

Its an odd one as still making is highly specialised and I don't think there's been an Irish made (legal) still since the early 20th Century.  Forsyths in Scotland are the only makers I know of http://www.forsyths.com/distillation/pot-stills/

He's based in Thurles. It was a custom job and the fella who put the order in fell very sick and couldn't proceed with the project.
